Regent Bowerbird

Sericulus chrysocephalus

The Regent Bowerbird adult male has glossy black plumage contrasted with golden-yellow areas on the crown, nape, mantle, and wings. Broad yellow wing panels contrast with dark flight-feather tips, while the breast, belly, lower back, and tail are black, without barring or spotting. Its golden crown meets a sharply contrasting black face, with the yellow bill and yellow iris providing additional color distinct from the feathers.
